Acharya Prashant explains that the worship of forms is often a projection of the human ego. He points out that religious statues and deities reflect the physical features and cultural identities of the people who create them, such as the Buddha appearing Japanese in Japan or Indian in India. This indicates that the form being worshipped is an extension of one's own imagination and identity rather than the ultimate truth. He argues that the truth is formless and that worshipping a form without understanding its essence is like worshipping one's own shadow or reflection in a mirror. He notes that even the depiction of Shri Rama has changed over time to suit modern political and social tastes, moving from a gentle figure to a muscular, action-hero style, further proving that forms are human constructs. Regarding the correct way to approach deities like Shri Krishna or Shri Rama, Acharya Prashant emphasizes that a form is only useful if it leads the seeker to a higher, formless truth. He defines Shri Krishna as the source of the Bhagavad Gita, stating that the Gita is the true essence of Shri Krishna. Therefore, looking at a form of Shri Krishna should immediately remind one of the teachings of the Gita, specifically self-knowledge and selfless action. He suggests that Shri Rama represents the Yoga Vashisht and Shiva represents the Ribhu Gita or Shiva Sutras. If a form does not act as a doorway to the formless truth or the wisdom of the scriptures, it becomes a source of delusion. The ultimate purpose of a physical representation is to help the mind dissolve and realize the formless reality.
